The Nebelwerfer Ammunition trailer designated Sd. Ah. 33 was a specialized trailer for the ammunition of the German Nebelwerfer. The Sd. Ah 33 – Sonder Anhänger is a special trailer for this kind of ammunition. It was a single axle trailer for the 10,5 cm Wurfgranate. The 15 cm Wurfrgranate used the Sd. Ah. 7 specialized single axle trailer for the 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 with the same principle as the Sd. Ah. 33.

The Sd. Ah. 33 trailers weighed 340 kilograms and could carry a payload up to 360 kilograms. It was 2,16 meters long and had a width of  1,7 meters and was 1,11 meters high. It carried 18 – 10,5 cm Wurfgranate, three salvo’s for Nebelwerfer.

When the single barreled heavy mortars 10 cm Nebelwerfer 35 and 10 cm Nebelwerfer 40 became obsolete the 10,5 cm ammunition trailer Sd. Ah. 33 was redesigned to ammunition trailers for the German Marder I – 7,5 cm Pak 40/1 Tank Destroyer.

Sometimes the trailer’s designation is confusing. When a single trailer is named it is Anhänger with the designation Ah or Anh. But when it is a special trailer it is called Sd. Ah.
